The walkways are lined with enormous live oaks, and the buildings give the campus a distinctly collegiate feel without losing its New Orleans character. The architecture's Gothic-inspired details make the campus feel older than it is, and it pairs surprisingly well with the subtropical landscape.

Words can't describe how badly this school has set me back…read more First I spend thousands of my own money I worked hard saving up enrolling in the program and having to take off work to attend classes while I was financially supporting my grandparents and making min wage at the time. Then they accuse me of being "suspicious" for not getting drug tests or titers done ASAP because I spend all of my money I had on them. Then when I finally get it done, I do clinicals, then they drop me from clinicals the first week "because I didn't have enough sticks"(not in my control how many people come in), then finally settled on the actual reason being "I just wasn't confident", which was an insane excuse considering I had to literally starve for weeks to afford this program. Then when I'm obviously bummed about wasting all my money, the teacher accused me of "only wanting this program for making money" it was PHLEBOTOMY, I wasn't going to be making more than 13 an hour, she then starts claiming it's a good thing and forces me to sign something claiming I dropped, which was untrue so they don't have to refund me

As do most…read morestate schools, they're underfunded, understaffed & seemingly have a high turnover rate; in my opinion. HOWEVER, when it comes to education, they're #1!!! No spoon feeding, hand holding over here; if you want it, you have to WORK for it. The struggle is REAL. But upon graduation or course A/B level grade course completion, you will know the material FORWARD AND BACKWARDS. Not bashing other universities, but a UNO Degree holds weight; here you get OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN!!!! I pray for more funding; this university is a treasure and need not be lost due to bureaucratic red tape.

Review #400. After…read morebeing in the work force for over a decade, I was displaced in a manner of speaking. I graduated from high school in the mid 1990's, and had gone to community college where I was living. In my search for a 4-year university to transfer to, UNO was suggested to me. I applied, and was admitted Fall term 2011 as a junior in the College of Business Administration. This school is built on what is a former military installation, as you may be able to tell by some of the older cookie cutter houses surrounding it that all look like military housing. The base was closed sometime in the mid-1950's, and the state took over the property, creating the University of New Orleans. In recent years, the basketball team has had some recognition for their stellar plays. My anxiety was high as I moved across the country to come here. I do feel as if I got a well rounded education, and was exposed to differing points of view here. Though it took me another 2 and a half years to graduate, I can say that I did it. The gym is nice, has an indoor swimming pool, an elevated track above the basketball courts. The University Center houses the student government, the dining hall and several kiosks of fast food. All of the buildings were clean and neat that I have been in. The school of Business is awesome. The career development center is very helpful and will help you in getting your resume in shape. I would be careful of the tutor center for the school of business, as I did not find them helpful. The main piece of advice they give is to read the textbook. They are unable to help with the details of accounting. The Cove was still closed when I first arrived to UNO, but they finished renovating it my second term I was there, and that was nice. It is also nice that they have the Privateer Enrollment Center in the library, taking up half of the first floor. It is nice to have one stop shopping for financial aid, Veterans Services, the bursar's office and be able to get your parking pass and student ID all in one place. It was all in separate areas and buildings when I first got to UNO, and quite the pain to get to everything, as the steps seemed out of order to get everything done. The streamlined affects are wonderful. When it comes to the parking pass, I think it is a bit on the high side for prices, and parking is at a premium. The library is pretty cool. When it was built, there was a rule put into place that nothing could be built between it and the lake so you could have unobstructed views from the 2nd floor up. That is a great idea. The only reason you can not see it from the first floor is due to the levee being in the way. In the spring, they have a crawfish boil that is free for all students, and a small charge for the alumni. They have plenty of things to do. An outdoor movie night near the cove. Plays, musical performances, and so much more. I am glad that I came, I am glad I graduated. And I am glad to have done my first two years at a community college to transfer so I did not have to retake the ACT! Also, when you (as a student) have enough credits to be considered a junior, each term, there is an option for a fine dining experience. The intent is to get you more comfortable with the experience of dining in a professional setting. Half your table will be students, the other half will be faculty and staff and will give insights on how to properly handle yourself in public with future bosses, coworkers and other business people. Too cool! And a great experience! This may not be the most popular school, but the basketball team has made some traction with improvements lately. You are in a good part of New Orleans, and you are close enough to all of the action in one of the coolest cities in the world. All in all, I appreciate my experience and education here. I do feel prepared for the much anticipated career change, and am grateful for the opportunity. This university is more of a commuter school, but as an adult student, I, in no way, shape or form, felt left out or old. I highly recommend this school for a well rounded education that is well earned. Some of the Business Administration courses and more of the Accounting courses really tested my stamina and drive for a degree. Truly. Please do not mind the younger students that guide the orientations or the tours of the university, they do not fully represent the entirety of the school, but talk to some of the students if you can.

Public transportation is accessible immediately at the entrance of the campus gates. It is one block away from Elysian Fields which can take you directly to the French Quarters (Quarter for short).

The neighborhood businesses have changed a bit post-Katrina yet you can purchase incidentals and every day staples from a number of places nearby.

The students, staff, professionals and personnel in facilities and security take great pride in ensuring you don't walk on the grass, have any harm done to you, know you're in a safe environment and get ready to show your ID to get on the campus. This has become a strongly enforced process so it may bother some as they're not used to it but the days of smiley faces and waving folks right on in are long gone. The Process - As most HBCU's, the endowments are not the largest compared to Primarily White Campuses however there's a double impediment when talking about funds + HBCU - post Katrina.

This review is for the Professional Schools and Science Building…read more I volunteered for EnRoll NOLA. An organization that has partnered with The Orleans Parish School Board and the Recovery School District to provide students and families with the opportunity to choose a school that suits their interests and needs. The annual New Orleans Public School Enrollment Process offers students the opportunity to easily apply to all participating schools using one application. The building was phenomenal! We expected a large amount of families to show up and it was definitely large enough to house everyone. Large foyer area for greeting, hallway entrance to the for families to receive a ticket, an auditorium where families waited until their number was called. The auditorium also had a projector where children friendly movies were played to help make they wait more pleasurable. We used the break/concessions area as a queue for families of 10 to wait until their number was called to enter the conference room that housed about 35 volunteer stations to place families in the available school of choice. Also there was another larger foyer area which was used by Entergy, Cox, and public health officials as on-site verification stations. Overall the building was a big part of the success of EnRoll Nola's late enrollment process. And I hope that Dillard University can provide its services time and time again to assist with the process.

I love Holy Cross. It's really cheap for a private school. Having attended Xavier and LSU before…read morethis, the small classes were definitely something to be thankful for. I am not great at test-taking, but Holy Cross really prepares you for the exams. The Thomas E. Chambers Counseling Center is located here and they do just about every kind of counseling there is. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for affordable counseling. It's free for students and $15 per 50 minutes for the rest of the community, though there they will consider lower payments on a case-by-case bases. Students have access to JSTOR to read periodicals and other print resources online. There are crawfish boils and other on-campus gatherings that are free for students and around $5 for non-students. There are no dorms. Everyone here commutes. If you are a part-time student, you get $50 on your student card of funds that have to be spent at the cafe/shop on campus. Full-time students get $100, and if you don't spend the money by the end of the semester then it disappears. When it rains, all you have to do is worry about getting to the building... because there is only ONE building. No really, ONE building. The problem here is that someone built on different annexes and connected them to each other, but the floors aren't completely connected to one another. If you're trying to get to a class that's on the second floor and YOU are on the second floor, you might end up having to go downstairs, walk to that area of the building and go back upstairs. The school is like a labyrinth. I keep waiting for the Minotaur to pop out of one of the old convent rooms, but it hasn't happened yet. Campus security is phenomenal. I've never even heard of a crime being committed on campus aside from the occasional unreported side swipe in the parking lot. Also, if you lose your iPod here, you will get it back. That's something I never experienced anywhere else! The students here are really honest. I am currently enrolled in the nursing program here and though it is occasionally nerve-wracking, sometimes stressful, and definitely not for the unorganized, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

That aside, they just do not reply. I would never recommend them for any business or anything for that matter. I wouldn't even attend SUNO for my higher learning and that's sad because I love supporting Black institutions. They need someone else overseeing their entire operations like me. I'd fire everyone on the spot who's not doing their jobs. If you're getting paid, then you should be at your job working. It's a BIG NO for me in every aspect.
